Abstract
1-Amino-2-(6'-hydroxyhexoxy)-4-hydroxyanthraquinone (I) is prepared from the corresponding 2-phenoxy- or 2-halo-anthraquinone compound and 1,6-hexanediol with or without a phenol in the presence of an alkaline agent at elevated temperatures by reacting, per mole of the anthraquinone compound, from 2 to 6 moles of 1,6-hexanediol in the presence of ethylene oxide adducts on phenols or alkanols and/or polyethylene glycols at from 125.degree. to 135.degree. C. and then heating the resulting reaction mixture at from 140.degree. to 150.degree. C., in the course of which the stage 1 byproducts, namely the 1',6'-bis(1-amino-4-hydroxyanthraquinonyloxy)hexane diether is cleaved into (I), leaving a diether level of .ltoreq.2% by weight in (I).
